Outcome requested<br />

Progression on Master’s Programmes<br />

This is a discussion paper on issues arising from TPB in June<br />

2012 (min: TPB 2011-090). TPB is asked to consider what further<br />

action may be required.<br />

Executive Summary<br />

Some QM Master’s programmes set a progression hurdle<br />

between the taught elements <strong>and</strong> the project / dissertation<br />

within a calendar year. Full-time students who fail to progress<br />

must return the following year to resit failures <strong>and</strong> undertake<br />

the project / dissertation. This has caused some difficulties,<br />

especially with overseas students who would need to secure a<br />

new visa to return the following year. The paper summarised<br />

the issue <strong>and</strong> possible courses of action.
